[Q] Samsung Galaxy ACE Hard Bricked... Please help

Hey !
I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.
i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838942
here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.
Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??
thanks in advance ...

an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...
same as above, help needed!
additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone

same here wont do anything

same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.

same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'
any help ?

Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??
Edit: All right. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace
2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone
3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)
4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen
5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)
6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)
Tell me if it works for you guys!

its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me

@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.
@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.

same thing happened to me.
did different methods to bring it to boot, even the two-prong diy to force to turn it on, still no go.
in the end, store replaced the device...with a bnew one of course.

Did anybody successfully revived bricked ACE??

Found expensive solution...
google "riff box samsung galaxy ace"

Samsung SGA revived
hey guys, i bricked my phone last april then the only solution to revive it is by replacing the motherboard or by using JTAG. btw JTAG support for samsung was released last May 12.

It just corrupts your motherboard
So a hardware issue can't be solved from home
Only option I guess is Service Center
Hope you have warranty
ROM Manager is a tricky tool
It hard bricks your phone if you do even a step wrong !
Ps ....Im just cautioning everyone so that it doesn't happen in future to others....

After I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" using prerooted.tar.md5, I had the same issue. The screen kept flickering and now I want to unroot to go back to the original manufacturing setting. I just flashed this firmware and it restored to the original condition except the flickering problem still exists. Please help.

unbrick my galaxy tab 3 10.1 P5200
First I greatly appreciate this forum; you may actually be able to help - - - -
Apparently I may have turned my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200 into a brick; my battery was below 50%, and it asked me if I wanted to update my IAP? - -somewhat of a novice in this regards, said yes, immediately asked me to connect my charger, after I did the power was not charging and continued to drop. Now it will not charge at all - - -no battery prompt, no screen, no nothing, went completely dead. My question is how can I restore power to my TAB 3? I have tried most of the suggestions from google sites; and an IT friend of mine indicated this sounds like a firmware issue and I would have to send to manufacture - - -I purchased it 1 1/2 months ago brand new; I LOVE MY GALAXY TAB 3; currently in a war zone and it would take forever to send back and get back; can someone give me some hope on restoring power so I do not have to send back . . .Thanks to all of you, be safe.

GT=N8000 is not booting , stuck at downloading mode

hi
i am trying to get this thing on , but it keep showing me "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen , nothing else
tried to hard reset , so i pressed power+ vol up and asked me to restart or continue
so i continue , and i am stuck at a creen showing me android logo with "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"
its been like this for 4-5 hours
there is something written in the upper left corner
ODIN MODE
product name : GT-N8000
custom binary download : No
current binary : Samsung official
system status : Official

any help please ?

Be more spesific. What was the last thing you've done before that issue?
Btw, maybe it's time to use ODIN and install some rom. There are plenty of "flashing" guides in this forum and on internet. Please feel free to google: "how to flash on n8000 with ODIN". If you have any more trouble, question or something like it feel free to ask. Just be sure you mentioned me in your question so I can now there is a question that asked to me.
Have a nice day.
Edit: I found my answer too hard to understand so here is some hints:
You should search for "how to use odin".
You should download a firmware that corresponds to your tablet. (THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU WON'T BE CAREFUL YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE)
There are plenty of guides that explains how to flash a firmware to a samsung phone. Don't worry, that way is effective for almost every samsung device (except for the new ones) and will be succesfull for your n8000 too!

the tablet is not mine , my niece was using it
it was running good until several days and stopped working
when i go to download mode , it keep restarting for ever
i went to some local shop in my area and they said they can't fix it ( maybe its a hardware issue ? )

If there is a boot loop it is more likely being a software issue but I was wrong before too. So did you tried to flash a rom?

installed kies , but the logo keep running on my desktop
ok , now my niece told me there is some important files and photos on it
how to restore those files without formatting ?
i can't even access to the device , and no microSD card

Just install the firmware. That's the only way you can open up your files with the resources you have. If it's that important, I strongly suggest you to go to a Samsung service and tell them your story. If you want to do it yourself, search for: installing custom recovery, installing rom. When you switch between different roms you don't have to format your data but I can't remember the case with the Odin.

Hi, i have the same problem.
I have a galaxy note 10.1 2013. It originally had ics. I updated my software in the middle of this year.
Today, my tab worked fine, as it usually, does. I placed it in my bag at 5:30 pm after playing and surfing the internet. At 11pm, i took it out and it was a bit hot and it seemed to be stuck at the screen where it says "samsung galaxy note 10.1".
I tried to restart my tab but it still remains stuck in the same screen. When i plugged it in, it shows that im charging. But when i start it up, its still stuck in the same screen.
When i pressed the power button and the volume up button, it gets to this screen which says
Warning!! (Blahblah something about custom os blahblah) volume up: continue volume down: cancel(restart phone)
What do i do? I didnt do anything weird or different today than i would have any other day.
Please, i need your help. Thank you!

Galaxy S duos 7582 boot loop and unable to access recovery mode. help guys please

Hi Guys,
I have the Samsung galaxy S duos (7582) and I believe that my phone has soft bricked.
1. At first the phone will switch on only while connected to charger. Even if its switched on it will just show the start page with Samsung logo and phone model only.
2. I have replaced the battery and tried but it shows the same result. Doesn’t charged up but can switch on the phone (only to hert screen with Samsung logo and phone model) with connecting to charger e or PC.
3. The mobile phone is not detected by the PC, but the same has detected by odin. I have passed in odin but unable to access the recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power buttons.
4. Finally I tried to flash stock rom with Odin and it shows Fail.
Appreciate your help.

Well you were saved. always make sure about the device model before flashing. anyways it's the wrong thread here. its not a big issue and don't need very complex method. just download the stock firmware you want from sammobile and flash it through odin.
